Synopsis

Say it loud, say it proud: I Love My People! An energizing tour of Black culture, history, and community, I Love My People is a joyous celebration in rhythmic poetry. Follow two children as they excitedly experience their neighborhood, family gatherings, Juneteenth and Kwanza celebrations, church community, and activities that parallel the accomplishments of influential contemporary and historical Black icons. Meet dancers like the Nicholas Brothers and Katherine Dunham, filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, mathematician Gladys Mae West, scientist Kizzmekia Corbett, NASCAR drivers, tennis players, gymnast Simone Biles, and activists too. Kim Holt's warm, vibrant illustrations bring each scene to life, infusing each declaration of awe and respect for the Black community with joy and verve. Author Kim Singleton's poetry soars, making this a fantastic read-aloud for home, school, and the library. She hopes the book will serve as a source of education, inspiration, and pride to young people. I Love My People: A Child's Celebration of Black Culture is a wonderful gift for holidays, birthdays, and any occasion.
